The West Don River flows through Glendon Forest which is a remarkably quiet and lovely place within the busy city. Here you can look around and listen in total tranquility.

NATURE POETRY

I find sweet peace in depths of autumn woods,    
Where grow the ragged ferns and roughened moss;    
The naked, silent trees have taught me this,—
The loss of beauty is not always loss!          – Elizabeth Drew Stoddard (1823–1902)

Miles Hearn
